  • Might have been 5 stars

    Dr Helen Geake is so knowledgable, sensitive, and an excellent communictor. Could Martyn be asked to stop butting in, and to stop trying to amuse? I found his 'joke' about his bird watching friend to be irritating and inappropriate.

  • Patreon previews

    I loved the tv show and enjoyed the podcast up to a point, but the last episode just seemed to be a series of previews for their Patreon offerings and lacked any depth

  • Podcast improved

    This podcast scratches your archaeological itch. Helen and Martyn make a great team! Interspersed with a variety of guests, this podcast is interesting and fun to listen each week. Upcoming Dani’s news section will add additional content. While it is still evolving, they make an effort to include archaeology from all over the world (not just the UK).

    Just a lovely, warm show, which gives you a fuzzy feeling inside. One of the very few podcasts I download and listen to as soon as it’s released.

  • Just like the television show, these conversations dip into a wide range of archaeological content in a way that sparks curiosity and wonder. The presenters and guests clearly love the topics, and I love learning about the techniques of archaeology in addition to the discoveries. The recent Christmas quiz was good fun. Please keep the episodes coming!
